New blog post: Running your own Autonomous System on FreeBSD.

Got an AS number and IPv6 /48 via RIPE, set up a FreeBSD BGP router with FRR, two upstreams, and built GRE/GIF tunnels ti bring my own globally routable addresses to servers at different providers.

The interesting part: dual-FIB policy routing lets FreeBSD jails speak from both provider and BGP addresses simultaneously.

🙏 Colocation recommendation request! (AMS region)

A few weeks ago we asked our dear community if they had any servers they were willing to donate to our foundation for stress testing our BGP engine Rotonda. Since then we had some amazing offers beyond our wildest dreams.

We are now in the luxury position where we have five servers! This opens up more possibilities, such as having a CI/CD server, allowing us to migrate away from GitHub to Codeberg. However, the servers are now heating up our lunch room in a test setup.

Who has colocation recommendations? Preferred region is Amsterdam; Science Park would be perfect. Note that we’re not looking for a favor, but a contractual agreement we can depend on.

A closer look at a BGP anomaly in Venezuela

Is the BGP protocol a good predictor of whether Venezuela (and, by extension, possibly other countries in the future) is going to be invaded⁉️

@steely_glint @tante @sovtechfund Please don’t confuse us with the @nlnet foundation, who fund #OpenSource projects.

NLnet Labs is a software development and research foundation, who offer software for core Internet infrastructure, like #DNS and #BGP.

While we maintain seven major open source projects with 17 people, developing and maintaining a web browser would be a whole different (albeit exciting) ballgame.

The @ripencc recently added the ability to specify Autonomous System Provider Authorization (ASPA) objects in their #RPKI dashboard.

Routinator currently sees 322 published ASPAs. 🚀

Did you review your provider-customer relationships yet?
